To all whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, PETER DIEDRICH AU- GUST SEEBEGK, a citizen of the German Empire, and a resident of Geestemi'mde, Germany, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Sheet-Metal Spouts for Discharging Liquid from Barrels, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to a folding sheetmetal spout for barrels which at the same time is to be used as a bung-plate.

This invention is chiefly characterized by the apparatus being made of a single piece of sheet metal which is approximately cut to a U shape.

In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 represents the blank for forming my improved spout. Figs. 2, 3, and 4 are views showing consecutive positions of the folded blank. Fig. 5 shows the folded blank of Fig. 4 reversed and secured to a barrel. Fig. 6 is a front view of the completed s out; Fig. 7, a section on line A B, Fig. 6 an Fig. 8, a plan of the s out.

The lank for forming the spout is approximately of U shape, as shown in Fig. 1.

t consists of a trapeziform base or bridge a, a pair of rectangular tongues or flanges b b, and a pair of ta ering gores c 0 between the parts a b and a 2., respectively. The bridge a forms the bottom of the spout. The arts 0 and 0, connecting the bridge a, and the flanges b 6 form v side walls of the spout.

Scores (1 and d. in the parts 0 and c and similar scores ff between the parts a and c or 0 enable the plate to be folded in such manner, Fig. 2, that the part a, forming the bottom'of the spout, comes to lie on the folded lateral walls 0 and c, and thus protectsthebung situated below it and forms a bung-plate.

The scores 9 and 9 between the flanges b and b and the lateral parts 0 and c of the s out also enable the flanges b and b to be f0 ded over, Figs. 3 and 4.

The completel -folded plate is provided at its edge with hoFes h, Fig. 4, in order to enable it to be nailed over the bung of the barrel. (See front elevation, Fig. 5.) It is secured to the barrel Z over the bung-hole & by the driving-in pins k in such manner that the bottom a of the spout is outside and the flanges b and b rest on the barrel. The bottom a is preferably held only by means of one nail, so as to enable it easily to be detached. After this has been done the nozzle, constituted by the parts a, c, and 0, can be bent as shown in front elevation in Fig. 6. The

flanges b and b, which form tongues, can now be bent outward in order to enable the bung to be driven in or removed. After the bung has been removed from the bung-hole i, the tongues bare again bent back, so that they form damming-valves, which, owing to the damming action, serve to regulate the quantity of the escaping liquid.

What I claim is- 1. A sheet-metal spout composed of a nozzle having foldable sldes, and flanges back of said sides, substantially as specified.

2. A spout made of a single piece of sheet metal and consisting of a nozzle having a pair of lateralside walls, and a pair of tongues back of said walls, substantially as specified.
